CATECHIST AIDES ARE STILL NEEDED!!
Please prayerfully consider helping this year.

To the parents of children in the program…helping as an aide in the classroom is a wonderful opportunity to serve the Church and learn alongside your child. It also gives you the opportunity to learn more about the role of catechist, if you’d like to consider
that opportunity in the future.

And to our confirmed teens…if you enjoy working with younger children, we’d love to have your help! God bless you all for considering this work of mercy for our parish.

As a token of appreciation for their service, catechists and assistants will receive free tuition. All volunteers are asked to complete the child protection forms and Virtus class through the Diocese of Arlington.

Please call or email Kim Livaudais, Director of Religious Education to chat about how you might help as a catechist or assistant for the next school year. We can’t do any of our good work for Jesus without our wonderful volunteers!
